Answer:

The atmosphere traps heat energy from the Sun and energy radiated from Earth's surface helping to maintain Earth's climate

Explanation:

Earth's atmosphere keeps much of the Sun's energy from escaping into space. This process, called the greenhouse effect, keeps the planet warm enough for life to exist. The atmosphere allows about half of the Sun's heat energy (50%) to reach Earth's surface.

Even though lead is toxic, lead compounds were used in ancient times as white pigments in cosmetics. What is the percentage of l
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of lead (IV) carbonate is Pb(CO_3)_2

To calculate the mass percentage of lead in lead (IV) carbonate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{\text{Mass of lead}}{\text{Mass of lead (IV) carbonate}}\times 100

Mass of lead = (1 × 207.2) = 207.2 g

Mass of lead (IV) carbonate = [(1 × 207.2) + (2 × 12) + (6 × 16)] = 327.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{207.2g}{327.2g}\times 0100=63.32\%

Hence, the mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:  

For the metal:

m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}

For the water:

m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}

\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}

\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}

A _____________ is formed when water empties into a lake or ocean
solong [7]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

he place where a river enters a lake, larger river, or the ocean is called its mouth. River mouths are places of much activity. As a river flows, it picks up sediment from the river bed, eroding banks, and debris on the water. ... When large amounts of alluvium are deposited at the mouth of a river, a delta is formed.
